Arkansas Repertory Theatre Presents Virtual Course, MASKS AT PLAY

Registration is now open for Arkansas Arts Center's 6-week virtual course, Masks at Play!

Explore the rich history of theatrical masks and performance, from the zany world of Commedia dell'Atre to the modern superhero.

Mask Creation:

You will design and sculpt a character with oil-based clay, and make a heavy duty paper mache mask from the sculpt. The finished product will be a mask inspired by the traditional forms of traditional mask making.

Mask Performance:

Beginning with Italian Commedia dell'Arte, students in the performance section of the tean/adult course will learn techniques of masked performance from a variety of world traditions. Through a collaborative process, the class will learn to allow the mask to determine character and, once donned, how it reshapes the performer.

Courses are available for Adults & Teens (ages 15+) or Families. Learn more and register at: https://bit.ly/3gS519b
